Overview

Incremental hints and optional spoilers for NYT Spelling Bee and Connections.

NYTG Helper adds a discreet hint panel to the NYT Spelling Bee and Connections pages. Hints are incremental — you choose how much to reveal, so nothing is spoiled until you ask for it. Spelling Bee • Automatically detects the words you've already found • Incremental hint levels — totals, word counts by length, starting letters, and two-letter pairs — so you can nudge yourself without giving everything away • Reveal missing words only when you're ready • Pangrams are highlighted • Hover any word to see its dictionary definition; click to open the full Merriam-Webster entry • Answers sourced from beesolver.com and cached locally so repeat visits are instant Connections • Fetches the daily puzzle groups directly from the NYT API • Each group reveals in two steps: first the category name, then the words — peek at exactly as much as you want • Cached locally per puzzle date Privacy-first • No accounts, no analytics, no tracking • All data stays in your browser (chrome.storage.local) • Only connects to nytimes.com, beesolver.com, and a free dictionary API • Full privacy policy: https://nytg-helper.pages.dev/#privacy
